I'm a bit worried about taking 300mg twice daily for fibrotic bands after having COVID. My doctor suggested it, but I'm still feeling unsure. Is this dosage really safe?

I'm having trouble with breathing and keep getting a sudden cold and a blocked nose whenever it's cold or I eat anything cold. At night, it sometimes feels like I have chest pain or I can't catch my breath while trying to sleep. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried?

Thats clearly due to allergy,you are allergic to cool substances avoiding them is the only solution that you have and visit physician for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?

Continue same treatment,Also continue seroflo inhaler sos for breathing difficulty.

I'm a bit worried because my doctor just switched my TB medication from AKT 4 to RCinex 450300 and Mycobutol 1000 without doing any tests. I've only been on the meds since the beginning of March, and he mentioned that TB doesn't spread after 15 days of treatment, so it's okay to resume normal activities. Could you please let me know if this change is safe and if it's really true that TB isnt contagious after just 15 days on meds?

Yes ,TB will not spread at present since 15 days treatment is completed .Continue all the medications.
